The game can be described as an interactive narrative, which means that every time that a player "wins," the story will move along to the next level. The game is similar to other Netflix interactive series, such as 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch' or 'Cat Burglar'.
For the game, there will be a total of 30 episodes that will come out, with a series of 24 trivia questions set up in multiple-choice design. There will be a variety of subjects to choose from, including science, entertainment, sports, art, geography, and history. It is similar to Etermax's 'Trivia Crack', which was licensed by Netflix, according to the New York Times.
"You can only do this on Netflix," Netflix VP of comedy and interactive lead Andy Weil informed The Verge. "You can't do this on any other platform because we're a tech company, and that's in the DNA of Netflix all along. The idea that you can interact with the content is something that we are exploring across all genres, all types of things."
There are a variety of different features that Trivia Quest will offer to users. The ultimate objective is to gain as many points as possible from the trivia questions, and users will even have the option of replaying the quizzes in order to correct their answers.
The game will be available on various platforms, such as Android
Moreover, Netflix has made a string of game developer acquisitions, which include Night School, Next Games and Boss Fight Entertainment. Night School was the developer behind the games 'Oxenfree' and "Afterparty'; Next Games is a developer based in Finland that created the mobile puzzle RPG 'Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales.'; and Boss Fight Entertainment's portfolio includes a mobile strategy game called 'Dungeon Boss.'
Netflix Games is now attempting to implement mobile gaming into its typical subscription services, which will likely include 'Stranger Things' and other similar games. "While we're just getting started in games, I am confident that together with Next Games we will be able to build a portfolio of world class games ... that will delight our members around the world," Mike Verdu, vice president of games at Netflix, told The Verge.
